To meet their performance requirements, designers must use GaAs, InP, GaN, SiGe and other heterostructure compound-semiconductor components. The business environment can pose even greater challenges, such as time-to-market, cost, and reliable design approaches. Modern circuit design must find new ways to overcome these demands. The circuit design process must begin with both the systems architecture (application, top-down) and the technology (model setup, bottom-up) to achieve efficient, cost-effective results.

Our independent design centre offers future-proof solutions by taking both these approaches into account. We cooperate with leading semiconductor manufacturers such as:

We can define the appropriate architecture, select a custom-tailored, cost-efficient technology, and create an innovative design. In addition, we have sophisticated measurement and characterization capabilities along with a highly accurate model setup of passive and active components. For example, many high-frequency applications today can make use of the SiGe technology, which offers high transit frequencies and excellent 1/f-noise behavior.

mm-wave SiGe designSiGe MMICs also allow the integration of digital functionality. Therefore, we can develop SiGe oscillators or even complete synthesizers with excellent phase noise performance. Our service range includes appropriate architecture definition, innovative design, sophisticated testing, customized, cost-efficient technology selection, plus supporting services and application support. In short, we support you from the product definition up to its application.
